If you were really serious about it you'd be saving every penny you can and getting involved with something like your regional SCCA events.

Congrats, you just did motorsports
Wahh life isnt fair, grow a pair of nuts and have some dignity faggot. If it was something you really wanted to do, you would spend every waking minute working towards it instead of wasting your life on Veeky Forums
You might not get paid to do it but you can still compete.
This.
If you're aiming to race professionally from the off, you're aiming way too high.
>there's nothing I could think of that I would want to do more than racing
Most people have something they want to do more than anything, but that doesn't mean they have the determination or skill to do it.
Pro racing isn't a job, it's your life. There's no time clock to punch, there's no 40 hour work week.
However as others have said there's still plenty of amateur racing opportunities out there to scratch your itch if you're that serious about it.
Autocross, rallycross, amateur rally, karting, sprints, etc.
It'll eat all of your free time and money, but if you really love it you won't care.
Do you have a car?
If so, start driving fast. Go down windy roads, practice skills and when you think you're good, enter races. Maybe they'll be on the street, maybe on the track but you have to just "start doing it" and work your way up. Eventually you might be able to get a sponsorship or something if you're good but I would recommend looking closely and determining if you REALLY want to do that. It requires alot of time and effort just for something that is unfortunately rather unlikely, not because of who you are but because it is simply a difficult thing to do. Best of luck user, drive fast.
>Not racing in 24hour Lemon races
Get rich and get on your knees.
